Desert Safari with BBQ Dinner

5 hours

Moderate

Experience an unforgettable evening in Dubai's desert: dune bashing, camel rides, BBQ dinner, live shows.
This is the classic Dubai desert evening, and it is built around the drive out. An air-conditioned 4x4 collects you from your hotel and heads for the dunes, where the dune-bashing run - a genuinely thrilling stretch of driving across the ridgelines - delivers you to a traditional desert camp as the sun goes down. At the camp the evening opens up: camel rides, sandboarding on the slopes, henna painting, sheesha, and time to simply sit while the light changes. Dinner is a BBQ buffet with both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, served alongside a run of live performances including belly dancing, a tanoura show and a fire show. Refreshments - tea, coffee, water and soft drinks - are included throughout. The whole evening runs about six hours from hotel pickup to drop-off.
